History edit
SR 598 was applied on April 15, 1937 to a former county road.[4] The highway was originally routed along its present alignment from its southern terminus in Galion to its junction with SR 98 northeast of Tiro.[6][7] One year later, SR 598 was extended to the northeast along a previously un-numbered roadway, then northerly along a brief overlap of SR 61 and a short state highway that had carried the SR 289 designation to its current northern terminus at what was then the predecessor to SR 103, SR 194.[8]
